No facility tours for the kids either. Total lock-out. The local Dems are delighted (see article).

Come to the YMCA!

That’s it! I won’t be buying anymore airplanes from those guys.

Making a joke but there is nothing we average people can do.

but anything to please Obama if your revenues depend on him

[Mrs. Don-o]

Here's what I don't understand: the top capitalists seem overwhelmingly pro-gay. If you look at the donors to "Gay, INc." --- the huge gay nonprofits that are awash in millions of dollars in donor funding like National Gay & Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF), the Human Rights Campaign (HRC, the GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) --- you'll see that their main funders aren't rich gays, they're the Fortune 500.

Literally-- some 400 of the Fortune 500 have pro-homosexual policies that go beyond donations. They're into lobbying proactively for LGBT legislation, installing norms for their own corporate recruitment, retention, and promotion of employees which favor gays, etc. etc.

A lot of FReepers reflexively defend capitalism as a great system for freedom, and yet the Godless Capitalists are working in concert to destroy our moral, pro-faith-and-family American culture and replace it with hedonism, humanism, --- oh heck, I may as well say Baal, Moloch and Mammon.

Big Obama supporters too, natch.

Why?

Why is Big Capitalism so averse to freedom? And so perverse?

And why does Godless Capitalism win such uncritical support from FReepers?

Subject: New Rules for Corporate Contributions

All,
For your awareness, Corporate Communications recently reviewed Lockheed Martin’s philanthropic giving guidelines to ensure our contributions to non-profit organizations are consistent with the company’s values and policies. Based on that review, all non-profit organizations asking for Lockheed Martin funding will now be required to align with our values, commitment to diversity, or approach to equal opportunity. This update also affects any company supported volunteerism efforts with these organizations, and employees can no longer serve as a Lockheed Martin representative on boards of organizations that do not align with the new guidelines.

Tomorrow, the company will issue an LM News article outlining the policy changes. At MST, the majority of our non-profit partners align with these guidelines, so we do not expect the changes to have a significant impact. However, I wanted you to be aware that there will be some changes to our local support of organizations like the Boy Scouts of America.

My team is working to ensure affected organizations and employees are aware of these new guidelines. If you receive any questions or have any concerns about the policy update, please let me know.

Thanks for your support,

THAT’S IT!!!!! I’m buying my next jumbo jet from Boeing!!!

I didn’t know “homosexual” was a religious affiliation

[Dr. Thorne]

Well, that’s the last F-35 I buy!

“While we applaud the mission of the Boy Scouts and the good things they do in our communities, their policies that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and religious affiliation conflict with Lockheed Martin policies,” said Lockheed spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

I am afraid that Lockheed Martin is on the way out unless they change their policies. Do not know how long that will take, but it will happen, IMO. It is time for Gordon Johndroe to start looking for another job, maybe in Hollywood.

You cannot have an organization where physics, engineering, and science are absolutely crucial to success, and have people who cannot connect the dots in decision making positions. Men and women are NOT interchangeable. There is a God.

corporate socialism bump for later.....

They don’t want their products boycotted by gay people just straights.

Lockheed is in a pickle having chose MD for their headquarters. They maintain a hotel on their facility and fly in employees from all over the country to train them. Montgomery County had been getting taxes from hotel fees, until the State stepped in and gave them a tax break - $450,000 per year.

So LM is now a slave of MD Gov't now anyway.

[familyop]

Lockheed doesn’t like enlisted type prior servicemen either.

[CharlesWayneCT]

The scouts have banned openly atheist members since their founding. Unlike the gay issue, which until recently was really a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy where it only became an issue if a boy or an adult decided to openly discuss their sexual preference, there was never a doubt that if you did not practice reverence, you would not be long for scouting.

It is hilarious that any company is just discovering this.

On the other hand, I kind of wish companies would not do major sponsorship of organizations of any kind. A company exists to build things and sell them, and any money they give away is either making their products more expensive, or lowering their value to shareholders.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Hey luckup, it didn’t bother you all those years before,why now? Frikkin homos infest everything.

Well, Lockheed recently won the GPS contract from Boeing.

Boeing was the incumbent and was doing an awesome job, but pissed off the administration by wanting to build the Dreamliner in a non-union shop

While Lockheed curried favor with the administration by delaying announcement of their crappy-economy related layoffs until after the 2012 elections (in violation of federal law).

So, if you can find a way to boycott GPS...:)
